Explain how to correctly add vectors in 2-D

Physics
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
8 0
To add vectors we can use the head to tail method (Figure 1).
Place the tail of one vector at the tip of the other vector.
Draw an arrow from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second vector. This new vector is the sum of the first two vectors.

The period of a carrier wave is T=0.01 seconds. Determine the frequency and wavelength of the carrier wave. a. f=10 Hz, λ=3E8 me
makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The period of the carrier wave, T = 0.01 s

Let f and \lambda are frequency and the wavelength of the wave respectively. The relationship between the time period and the frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{T}

f=\dfrac{1}{0.01}

f = 100 Hz

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{100}

\lambda=3\times 10^6\ m

So, the  frequency and wavelength of the carrier wave are 100 Hz and 3\times 10^6\ m respectively. Hence, the correct option is (c).

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.
erastova [34]

Complete Question

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.

(a) How much heat transfer is needed each second to raise the water temperature from 35.0°C to 100°C, boil it, and then raise the resulting steam from 100°C to 450°C? Specific heat of water is 4184 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2256 kJ/kg, and the specific heat of steam is 1520 J/(kg · °C).

J

(b) How much power is needed in megawatts? (Note: In real power plants, this process occurs under high pressure, which alters the boiling point. The results of this problem are only approximate.)

MW

Answer:

The heat transferred is  Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power is  P = 5866\  MW

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      Mass of the water per second is m = 1917 \ kg

      The initial temperature of the water is T_i  = 35^oC

      The boiling point of water is  T_b = 100^oC

      The final temperature T_f = 450^oC

      The latent heat of vapourization of water is  c__{L}} = 2256*10^3 J/kg

      The specific heat of water c_w = 4184 J/kg^oC

      The specific heat of stem is C_s =1520 \ J/kg ^oC

Generally the heat needed each second is mathematically represented as

         Q = m[c_w (T_i - T_b) + m* c__{L}}  + m* c__{S}} (T_f - T_b)]

Then substituting the value

        Q = m[c_w [T_i - T_b] + c__{L}}  + C__{S}} [T_f - T_b]]

         Q = 1917 [(4184) [100 - 35] + [2256 * 10^3]  +[1520]  [450 - 100]]

         Q = 1917 * [3.05996 * 10^6]

         Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power required is mathematically represented as

         P = \frac{Q}{t}

From the question t = 1\ s

So  

        P = \frac{5.866 *10^9}{1}

        P = 5866*10^6 \ W

        P = 5866\  MW

How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.
